THE daughter of a Porthcawl couple has lent her singing voice to an album to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Britain.

Sophie Plummer, who attends Notre Dame School in Cobham, Surrey, but whose parents David and Louise hail from the seaside resort, appears on new album Smile, to be released on Monday.

The 13-year-old performs the classic Over the Rainbow on the album, which features evocative wartime and contemporary songs to commemorate the anniversary and present-day heroes.

Smile is released by Voice In a Million, a project raising awareness of the need for adoptive and foster families in the UK.

Sophie first became involved in the campaign earlier this year, when she performed in a concert at the 02 arena.

Sophie described the experience as “amazing” and will now go on to perform in the show again at Nottingham Trent FM Arena on October 7 and Liverpool Echo Arena on November 11, before returning to the 02 in February.

“It was so much fun and now I’m really looking forward to taking part again,” she said.

Talking about recording the track, she said it was an “amazing experience” to record the popular wartime song.

“It’s for such a good cause,” said Sophie, who has spent her summer holidays in Porthcawl working with the lifeguards.

And she said she hoped to continue performing for as long as she could.

Voice In a Million is not the only performing project Sophie is involved in. She has also spent the summer recording a song with Porthcawl songwriter Ed Rees, due to be released in the Autumn.

Her father David Plummer said: “The whole thing is snowballing. It’s really captured the imagination.

“These songs just seem to be coming back.

“It’s all for a good cause, all for charity and raises awareness of adoption and fostering.

“We’re thrilled. She’s only 13 and everyone seems to like her voice and love the fact that she’s Welsh.”
